March 2017- This is the Day! Boomerang has been released on Gangplank records label in Detroit!!! I am very excited about this record, I worked long and hard on it for the good part of two years. It was recorded mainly at Tempermill Studio in Detroit, produced by the almighty David Feeny (Blanche, American Mars) who has worked with countless Detroit artists including Jack White. He played pedal steel on Loretta Lynne's record from a few years back with three quarters of what was to become the Racontuers.

I am very happy with the direct, in your face guitar sound we got on this record, it is something I have been pursuing for some time without these kind of results. Again I am playing most of the instruments on the record, but got some great help from Bob Mervak on piano and keyboards. He is quite a player and really added to these songs.

Please go to Bandcamp to purchase the record!!

January 2017! Things are brewing...! Boomerang is coming around pretty soon! Artwork courtesy of MAC photography!

Update- December 2016- Wrapping up the new record, with a tentative tile of " Boomerang" Mixing is done and the next hurdle is mastering and it will be in the bag! Looking for a release in January or February 2017 with a CD release show most likely in February or March! Keep on the lookout for new updates after the new year!

Update- Fall 2016. Work continues on the latest record. I have been busy recording over several months at Tempermill studios in Detroit with Dave Feeny and also some recording in Chicago at Joyride with long time collaborator Brian Leach. Good progress being made and I am excited with the songs but still have a few more hurdles towards the finish line. I will try to keep this website much more up to date with progress reports, and certainly will complete a major overhaul once the record is completed. Also, another reminder to like the Facebook Page if you are a fan! Thanks! Tom
